 @MindfulStudent @jerry Unless your particular server has that as an option I'm not aware of, yeah it does. It shows it on all timelines.   Admins don't see the user that submitted the report, so it would be hard to do so. @experiencersinternational @jerry thing is, you're having to deal with other people's perceptions of their own server being applied to your own and vice versa. To you it's a security server, to them it's just another part of the platform where they talk about cats and/or get freaky, and vice versa. So you're moderating based on a whole host of perceptions and rules @doot @experiencersinternational this. Plus security people are human. And humans can be weird. @jerry @experiencersinternational Everyone's got a thing, and oh boy do we love sharing it on the fedi, much to the dismay of admins everywhere 😁   > “That account posted two posts within a few minutes of each other” I'm so sorry, I didn't know I have to moderate my posting!  @jernej__s @doot we’ll let you know if it’s a problem. Just pointing out some of the complaints we get. @jerry @doot Making it easy to report people very much has that side effect. There's a sense that reporting someone somehow validates your position because someone else will see why you don't like that person. Muting and blocking are quiet ways of doing this but then no one gets to agree with you by taking action. Obviously reporting is a necessary feature but...yeah... I'm guessing it is most often used incorrectly. @clarablackink @jerry @doot within reason, of course; admins don't want to comb through essays about how a certain user marginalizes tabby cats while over-promoting calicos.  @jerry Today, I reported an account that seemed completely new, used Chinese as primary language, followed me (and only me) and pinged me in quick succession on the basis that it was probably a bot, and worth looking into. Was that overzealous, and should I have made sure that it was, in fact, a bot, or did my suspicions warrant a report for mods to take a look at said account? @karl there are gray areas like this. Have to go with your gut, but I do get a lot of reports about “suspicious followers” who end up just being people who are here to lurk. The trick is sorting them out @karl I just found the report. That is an odd one. I am going to keep an eye on it @jerry Yeah, odd is the right word. On top of the reasons stated in my report, my spidey sense also tingled because it happened moments after I published a toot containing words such as "prime" and "discount", which could be bot magnets these two days. (That, and the fact that I am not a high profile particularly likely to be targeted by bots.) @catbailey @jerry @doot it’s ok Cat, I’ll report you! Report: Pretty sure Cat is not actually a cat, making this a case of Cat cat catfishing. Good to know. Thanks for the set of data for training humans on using the mute/block feature.  |
